I just have to wonder if the real problem and the real alternative are being identified, but he has brought attention to inequality and problems with neoliberalism.

He's already doing about 100 million x infinity things for the working man/woman than you are.

I since found the time to watch them and even if people arent too interested in the detail of the rail dispute, the last 6 and a half minutes of that particular video are about much broader themes and are especially excellent.

Mick Lynch is a hero to me. I have met him, top bloke. I am a life long union member. You don't even read the posts you respond to. Did you ever join a union?

You are more of a Steve Hedley type.

I do hope you've got a big clean cloth handy to remove all the egg that's going to be dripping from it.

Egg dripping from a cloth? Are you drunk?

Oh, I thought you would have heard of the common expression to have 'egg on your face.'
It's what happens when someone makes a total twat of themselves, like you've just done with your woefully backfiring Big Point about union membership, because you're so sure that I can't be a member.

I just remember your posts decrying the costs of being a member as a big reason for not doing so. If you have subsequently changed your mind and joined a union thats great.
I voted Hedley. He has a verified history of anti-fascism that I respect. I knew nothing of Lynch but don't regret him becoming general secretary. He's doing a sterling job.

Nope. Wrong again. Those posts were about the costs and disputed benefits of joining the Musician's Union, which I would still find hard to recommend to a band struggling on the toilet circuit.
I've been fully signed up to another union for over 15 years, but haven't felt the need to trumpet that fact.
Anyway I'm not sure why folk are poking their noses into the internal machinery of the RMT to be honest. It isn't the Govt.

Are you sure you got the right end of the stick there? I thought TC was responding sarcastically to the post rather than actually meaning Mick Lynch hadn't got any persona

Oh you've mentioned it quite a few times, how you're a union man and that, virtue signalling. But it's not much over 15 years.

Bit more clarity, this time on the question of the Labour Party.

I'll be raising a toast to him. He was inspirational in the RMT dispute taking all the media pundits to the cleaners, giving a clear and concise explanation of the link between profit and wages and lambasting greed of the bosses and the spinelessness of Labour.

He was quite impressive and often amusing dealing with shitty MPs as well as knobhead journalists like Kay Burley and Richard Madeley.
